THE heightened awareness about renewable energy resources and the growing passion to be actively involved in protecting Mother Earth came with the growing concern over climate change coupled with the rising cost of electricity.

This is basically the reason behind the setting up of Club Earth, initiated by Edward Marcs Philippines Inc., a Filipino-owned company engaged, among others, in the selling and development of alternative sources of energy, particularly solar.

“Mas maraming areas in Mindanao na walang electricity, that’s why we first established Club Earth here. We are planning to set up the club in other parts of the country soon,” Michelle Cordova, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Edward Marcs.
